If you didn’t think Twitter sucked before, wait until half the ads are for Trump.
“Half” is being very optimistic.
half? being generous are we?
People are starting to experience a real change right now. Those that are paying attention are trying to avoid Meta, X, formerly known as Twitter, Instagram, and a bunch of other partisan bs. The near-future will be interesting.
So, like a normal day on YouTube in 2016?
Oh sorry, you said half… It was most the ads on YouTube in 2016.
Yeah, I might have to delete Twitter just to get away from political ads.
I subscribed to YouTube premium specifically to avoid political adverts while still supporting content creators (political adverts are even more repetitive and uncreative than commercials, in my mind), and I actively avoid any room my parents are in when they’re watching any TV at all during campaign season.
I’ll get my info on how to vote by actually looking up the candidates’ actions on databases, thanks.
Translates to- twitter will only show pro trump ads.
Probably mostly, yes. Also this is likely an indication of how fucked their finances are.
By then the only users might be pro trump anyway
Why are people still using Twitter/x.
Puts on old man hat.
People talk shit about Twitter and still use it. Is it really that hard to quit? Essentially that makes everything you say seem unbelievable.
Don’t talk about it, be about it!
A lot of people have abandoned it
Its not like everybody is hating on twitter, the ones that like it still use it but in lemmy you will see a lot of hate because, you know how we all came here in the first place
Until pro sports abandons twitter it is not going anywhere.
Same thing with YouTube. Everyone hates it- but everyone still flocks to support their practices of fucking over the content creators.
How is YouTube fucking over content creators?
Probably demonizing videos for ridiculous nonsense.
Edit: demonetzing.
People really need to just accept the fact that, for better or worse, “Twitter.com” as we knew it is dead and “X.com” is here to take all of the flaws and worst aspects of the old platform and turn them into the main selling points of the new platform. Extremist right-wing politics and disinformation are no longer bugs, but features.
It doesn’t make sense to be so attached to a social network that you’re willing to constantly turn a blind eye to how toxic it is for society and democracy.
Ditch Twitter
Mush is probably desperate for every single cent he can wring out of Xitter. I’d guess that before they sold all the office furniture he went through every couch looking for loose change.
I wonder what political party will be advertising alongside Nazi content? Hmmmm.
Muskrat needs to try to get some money flowing there somehow.
This was the plan all along. Let’s see if he can keep it afloat until November 2024. Watch for fresh cash infusions from familiar players.
Bruh 2023 is almost over, those ads are about to start flying any minute now and not stop until November 4th
LMAO of course it does, Elon is using the site to specifically foment disinformation and support right wing politics.
Yes, but lets be real: More than anything Twitter just desperately needs the cash flow and doesn’t want to be turning down any ads.
And the collective IQ of this country just dropped another few thousand points.
I definitely think he’s trying to burn twatter down to the ground so he doesn’t have to deal with it.
The 2024 election is all that Twitter needs to survive through. After that Musk will probably let it die.
